Young Rattlesnakes (less than 2 years old) are heavily preyed upon by numerous species like Ravens, Crows, Raccoons, Coyotes, Weasels etc. Even Adult Rattlesnakes are known to cannibalize youngsters. Adolescent Rattlesnakes (above 2 years) are preyed upon by larger predators like Eagles, Hawks, Badgers, Kingsnakes etc. Adult Rattle snakes have only one known predator the "Kingsnake" which is a constrictor. It is immune to the venom of Rattlesnakes and other Vipers and consumes them as a part of its natural diet.

Why would the mongoose be in trouble in a battle with a rattlesnake?
The mongoose typically has three serrated claws that would slash at the predator normally. The rattlesnake's tough skin reduces the strength of the blow, preventing these claws from penetrating the inner sanctum of the rattlesnake's oral pectum. The rattlesnake could retaliate by using his poisonous fangs and the spotted rattlesnake venom could kill a mongoose with 0.246 of a drop.
